Citrine

Almost all of our citrine is sourced from the artisanal miners of the Moyo Gems project in Tanga, north-east Tanzania.

Occasionally, we obtain citrine from our small network of artisanal mines in Sri Lanka.

All of our citrine is natural and not treated in any way to affect the colour or clarity. It does not come from amethyst that has been heat treated.

Moyo Gems is a pioneering, miner-to-market, gemstone collaboration in East Africa.

Nineteen48 is one of the commercial partners working with the women artisanal gem miners and their male allies in Tanzania and Kenya to deliver their gemstones to the international market.

We source our Moyo Gems specificially from miners in various communities in the Tanga region in north-east Tanzania, all of whom are members of the Tanzanian Women Miners' Association (TAWOMA).
